Weekend Updates

**KevBGUFC** · 09/07/2010, 9:41 PM

Sabotage by a cross-section of fans afraid of what Buttimer might do next is the main line of enquiry being taken by the Gardai following the abandonment of tonight's game at Hunky Dory park, with a second theory claiming opponents of the rugby-ladies ad campaign step up their action from 300 letters of complaint to mild-terrorism!

It said in one of the papers that we could sign him if he doesnt go to St Mirren.

Saw that, in todays Mirror. As I said, I personally wouldn't believe the rumour, sign one of them maybe but I couldn't see us sign the two.

insurance reasons apparently. If no floodlights the players arent covered for injuries etc... understandable to an extent but horrible for Bohs. Apparently we were well on top and were playing decent stuff. Fixture congestion and more games in hand... gahhh!!!

Paid into stand to avoid the cow shed, must be the most limited view of the pitch from any stand in a any ground anywhere. Drogs are a decent bunch but the whole ground is a joke.

Presumably will be free/or token amount to cover officials expenses in to the replayed game given that they have already pocketed the gate (and paid the bills).

dont be a knob , remember we were left uncovered a few years ago when the lites went out in your one sided ground, ... hope we make you pay in again and beat yis... there was no street lights on or is your head in the clouds that much that you cant see them...

No - even the hospital lights went out at the same time as the floodlights. It affected half the town.

**Dalymountrower** · 10/07/2010, 11:10 AM

Car Park across the road , houses in the vicinity, traffic lights had power . I`ll take your word for it though that it was ESB`s responsibility.

Dalymount a one sided ground Mandrake?? Good enough for you to rent it from us in your brief European outings. You are right though there was a power cut at a previous Bohs /Drogs game which was delayed by an hour. Seem to remember regular updates being given to the crowd back then unlike last night .

**Rasputin** · 10/07/2010, 11:58 AM

Galway were so so bad last night, they simply didnt care at all.
Their whole performance reeked of putting in the motions.
It reminds me of rats fleeing from a sinking ship down there.
So much for the FAI's chosen child.

do you's not get the points because it was a certain amount time played??
yaz have a big enough squad to handle your fixture congestion anyway

about the pats ucd game
thought UCD deserved something from the game, but delighted we stole the 3pts with the amount of time wasting being done when the scores were level, but i guess the football for ya

Of course it wont be free for the next game , you will have to travel up to Drogheda and pay in again .Thems the breaks , and do us a favour and pass a message onto some of your fans that a pa announcement cant be made when we dont have any electricity . And it wasnt just United pk that was out other areas went at the same time .

**SkStu** · 10/07/2010, 3:24 PM

it doesnt have to be a PA announcement. There are other ways of getting the message out propoerly. Its not too hard a situation to manage in fairness.

**Longfordian** · 10/07/2010, 6:30 PM

When our game against Shels was abandoned a number of years ago we had to give Shels a share of the second gate. That was a league rule at the time apparently, I'd say it still is. Ollie made sure they got their money anyway!

**The Lep** · 10/07/2010, 6:45 PM

When the lights didnt work in Tolka for the shells v Fingal match , refunds was given on the night or free entry to the re arranged fixture. Some got paid twice

**Ciaran W** · 10/07/2010, 6:46 PM

Martinho if its going to stay up there you could at least spell it right :P anyone hear any vuvuzelas at the matches ? There was one at rovers pats

**Longfordian** · 10/07/2010, 7:03 PM

I think it was the case then that if the game goes over 70 minutes you weren't obliged to give a refund. That may be why the next gate was shared as we didn't give any refunds!
